Public bug reported: Running apt-get -q update right after creating a multipass VM may take quite long since apt-check updates package list again. It seems to be stuck in lock-wait, but I have to triage that fully.
Found the issue when using ubuntu bartender. multipass@cunning-halibut-ubuntu-bartender:~$ top top - 12:37:11 up 12 min, 1 user, load average: 2.21, 1.83, 1.08 Tasks: 112 total, 3 running, 109 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie %Cpu(s): 35.6 us, 3.6 sy, 0.7 ni, 0.0 id, 0.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 59.8 si, 0.3 st KiB Mem : 8175088 total, 7685532 free, 113940 used, 375616 buff/cache KiB Swap: 0 total, 0 free, 0 used. 7801576 avail Mem PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 1757 multipa+ 20 0 92796 3952 2984 R 86.6 0.0 8:54.22 sshd 3 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 10.5 0.0 0:58.22 ksoftirqd/0 2145 root 39 19 114936 54396 11372 R 1.3 0.7 0:03.78 apt-check 2355 multipa+ 20 0 40500 3588 3012 R 1.0 0.0 0:00.13 top 1103 root 10 -10 5716 3508 2424 S 0.3 0.0 0:00.39 iscsid 2126 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.3 0.0 0:00.38 kworker/u2:1 2191 multipa+ 20 0 92796 3412 2484 S 0.3 0.0 0:00.33 sshd 2302 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.3 0.0 0:00.27 kworker/0:2 1 root 20 0 38064 5896 3888 S 0.0 0.1 0:04.10 systemd 2 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 kthreadd 4 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.45 kworker/0:0 5 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 kworker/0:0H 7 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.21 rcu_sched 8 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 rcu_bh 9 root rt 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 migration/0 10 root rt 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 watchdog/0 11 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 kdevtmpfs 12 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 netns 13 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 perf 14 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 khungtaskd 15 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 writeback 16 root 25 5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 ksmd 17 root 39 19 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 khugepaged multipass@cunning-halibut-ubuntu-bartender:~$ pstree systemd─┬─accounts-daemon─┬─{gdbus} │ └─{gmain} ├─acpid ├─2*[agetty] ├─atd ├─cron ├─dbus-daemon ├─dhclient ├─2*[iscsid] ├─lvmetad ├─lxcfs───2*[{lxcfs}] ├─lxd───7*[{lxd}] ├─lxd-bridge-prox───2*[{lxd-bridge-prox}] ├─mdadm ├─polkitd─┬─{gdbus} │ └─{gmain} ├─rsyslogd─┬─{in:imklog} │ ├─{in:imuxsock} │ └─{rs:main Q:Reg} ├─sshd─┬─sshd───sshd───bash───sudo───apt-get───apt-get───sh───update-motd-upd───apt-check │ └─sshd───sshd───bash───pstree ├─systemd───(sd-pam) ├─systemd-journal ├─systemd-logind ├─systemd-timesyn───{sd-resolve} ├─systemd-udevd └─unattended-upgr───{gmain} multipass@cunning-halibut-ubuntu-bartender:~$ ps -ef | grep apt root 1895 1758 0 12:30 ? 00:00:00 sudo apt-get -q update root 1896 1895 0 12:30 ? 00:00:00 apt-get -q update root 2127 1896 0 12:32 ? 00:00:00 apt-get -q update root 2145 2131 1 12:32 ? 00:00:04 /usr/bin/python3 /usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check --human-readable multipa+ 2359 2192 0 12:38 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto apt multipass@cunning-halibut-ubuntu-bartender:~$ /usr/bin/python3 /usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check --human-readable ^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^CError in function update E: Unknown Error: '<class 'KeyboardInterrupt'>' ()^C^C^C^C multipass@cunning-halibut-ubuntu-bartender:~$ ^C multipass@cunning-halibut-ubuntu-bartender:~$ ^C multipass@cunning-halibut-ubuntu-bartender:~$ ^C multipass@cunning-halibut-ubuntu-bartender:~$ /usr/bin/python3 /usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check --human-readable ^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^CError in function upda ** Affects: update-notifier (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1852594 Title: apt-check updates package list even when calling in apt update hook To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-notifier/+bug/1852594/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
